Fees and charges schedule

We are suggesting a move towards a fixed fee approach for some of our consenting work from 1 July 2024 as part of our proposed fees and charges schedule. There are a number of benefits to this for our community, including certainty of invoice amount, more timely invoicing, removing the need for a deposit and standard site visit costs will be built in.

This new approach shows how much our user-pays services cost. For example, how much it costs to apply for some resource consent applications, the charge-out rates staff can charge, technical costs and pre-application advice.

We are also proposing to adjust some prices to reflect the cost of delivering the service. In the supporting information you will find this proposed fees and charges schedule, which will also highlight the difference between what is currently being charged, and what is proposed to be charged next year (from 1 July 2024). We also highlight what we are proposing to change to a fixed fee.
